Environmental Education in Early Childhood Victoria (EEEC) and the Conference Organising Group are pleased to present the third joint Australian and New Zealand conference focussing on education for sustainability in early childhood.The inaugural Australasian conference was held in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2006. The following year the conference took place on Cockatoo Island in Sydney, attracting over 160 participants. With rapidly growing interest in education for sustainability we anticipate over 200 participants at this inspiring Melbourne conference where practitioners, managers, academics and educators from early childhood services and other interested community members will gather together.
The conference title Engage, Empower, Enact: Sustainability and the Early Years, highlights key strategies for moving forward in early childhood education for sustainability.
Both local and international keynote speakers will challenge and inspire, while workshops and papers will be structured to encourage debate and discussion to enable participants to reflect on their own practices and consider how to become more effective educators for sustainability.
